The “keep your head up” argument is past it’s best before date.
Does anyone enjoy seeing stuff like this still? Really? Kid lying face down on the ice out cold?

I personally see nothing wrong with that hit. It was legal check, shoulder down, and was not high. Is it unfortunate that the kid got rocked? Absolutely. Will he "keep his head up" and not skate around stink handling blindly in the future... I'm pretty sure he will. Do I like seeing a kid, lying down on the ice cold? No.. I really don't. It is unfortunate that incidents like this happen, but it is part of the game. Hockey is and will always be a contact sport. Now compare it to the Tom Wilson hit and that is a completely different story. One where the player targeted the other players head on purpose. That has no business in the game.
